The Coach was under fire after losing the Serie A debut 4-3 at Palermo on Sunday evening with a fragile 3-4-3 system.

Gasp has bowed to pressure and transformed his squad, adopting a four-man defence and Sneijder behind the two strikers. However, it's not entirely clear yet whether Sneijder will be a trequartista or part of the trident with Mauro Zarate and Pazzini.

Diego Milito scored twice against Palermo, but is sent to the bench in favour of Pazzini, while Diego Forlan is infamously cup-tied following his appearance in a Europa League preliminary round with Atletico Madrid.
